Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Balloon dilatation of native and/or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae to establish or maintain patency
Physical State
The balloon catheter is generally constructed of synthetic materials such as plastic and introduced into the body using a guidewire. The balloon is generally manufactured in multiple diameters and lengths to allow for treatment of different lesion sizes. There is typically a drug coating on the balloon with assists in maintaining vessel patency.
Technical Method
The balloon catheter uses mechanical force across a lesion to establish patency. The drug coating serves as an adjunct to the mechanical action of balloon angioplasty and assists in maintaining vessel patency post-procedure.
Target Area
Synthetic and/or native arteriovenous dialysis fistulae.

No Linked CFR Text

The FDA has not linked product code PRC to any particular section of the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). There are multiple reasons why this might be the case:

  • The product code was created for a class III submission that does not follow the normal PMN or PMA path - e.g., for a device that falls under HDE (Humanitarian Device Exemption) or EUA (Emergency Use Authorization).
  • The FDA has generated the product code for an existing Class III device, as a result of a PMA supplement that modifies the device in a way that it can't fit under the existing product code originally assigned
  • The product code was created for internal use at the FDA, and not for classification or regulatory-related purposes.
